The dream of opening JEDEC (the JoAnn East Dance Education Center) was realized in 1991 with its opening at School Square, Winchendon. Since then, hundreds of students and parents from over 15 surrounding communities have chosen and enjoyed the JEDEC Dance Program. In 1995, the dance school expanded to its current 286 Central Street, Winchendon location, which the East family has owned since 2000. In 2004, JEDEC expanded once again with the opening of a second additional location at 7 Chapel Street, Ashburnham. JEDEC then evolved to East Dance Studios. Our facilities offer fully equipped dance studios with thousands of square feet of dance space as well as parent waiting room areas. Fortunately and uniquely, both locations offer off-street parking in our adjacent privately paved parking lots.
